this board makes me feel like i'm the only person with a fairly neutral opinion of kanye. his music has always been played around me since i got "in to" music (college dropout came out my freshman year of high school....) but i really have no strong love or hate feeling towards him. i don't choose to listen to his music, but when it's on i don't mind it. i will see his show at roo, because outside of this i would never pay to see him on his own. that being said, i recognize that he's talented in his own right and that seeing him will more than likely be impressive, but i feel like even a live show wouldn't sway me in either direction....

I am with you on this. I tried to get into Yeezus but just couldn't. I don't think he's anything that deserves the negative reaction he elicits from so many though. Whenever anyone complaind about his '08 set, I always wonder why they weren't at Chromeo, Ghostland or Sigur Ros instead.

I actually never even tried to listen to Yeezus... until today. After seeing how highly everyone was rating it during the "everyone rank your favorite kanye albums" portion of the headliner thread i gave it a shot. not impressed. Blood On The Leaves & Bound 2 are ok, but def not top of the list worthy...

also, though off topic, i LOVE chromeo and i never realized how many other people knew who they were before seeing them pop up on this board!!!

This. Last year while I was waiting all day in the pit line for Macca I said the only way I would ever consider this again is if it were for Kanye or Daft punk. Looks like this year will bill Kanye. Hopefully next year will be Daft Punk.

No I won't be there! Believe me I'd love to see him turn into a hot mess like the last time but I'm not giving him the time of day. I know everyone talks about how late he was previously but does anyone actually remember the show? It wasn't good at all. If Kanye is there I will either be watching something else or catching up on my sleep! If I'm not mistaken he also said that was his worst experience ever and it was so unorganized. Why would he want to come back? Money talks I guess...

I imagine Kanye to be someone who loves to face his haters. Which will hopefully equate to an amazing performance.
